Is it possible to fill an area with hatch patterns in a feature sketch (ipt sketch), not in idw sketch?
I want to show a safety screen (wire mesh) in a 3D model, in order to reduce the file size, I do not want to do solid wire mesh in the model, but the sketch only. I was drawing one by one line and make a hatch cross lines in the sketch, it took me lots of time to draw these lines.
Using Inventor 2013 and having issues with the fill/hatch region feature. I inserted my company logo on our custom border i am making and need to fill the logo in with colors to match our autocad verison borders. I go to click on fill/hatch region button and it doesnt do nothing and wont let me do nothing.

I've created a shared sketch and have used it with various features. Sometime those features are suppressed. The model works fine but the shared sketch generates a sketch doctor error because the feature that created it has been suppressed. Is there anyway to make the sketch suppressed so it doesn't trigger a sketch doctor error? Inventor 2013

When I open old drawings with these hatches in them, they load just fine...but I am unable to hatch any new areas with these hatches (because they are not listed in the hatch library)
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis is a problem I've had on 7 pc's:
All of the pc's are I7's 8gig Windows 7
The problem is, while making a sketch and trying to hatch it, it's locks up the system. Completely using up all of the resources to the point I have to unplug the pc/hot boot it.
This has been happening on both Inventor 2012 and 2011. (doesn't matter which version of Inventor .. Suite/Prof, Ultimate etc)
I'm thinking it has to be a Windows update that is messing it up, as it worked in the past.

how we can get hatch to not bleed through other solid hatch when we print?
We manually create sketch hatch (not through Section Views) that has a pattern. We then want to place sketched symbols on top of the hatch. Because the hatch is sketched hatch we can't use clipping. We have built into the symbols a solid white fill hatch to simulate the Wipeout in AutoCAD.
Everything looks good in Inventor, but when we print or export to PDF/DWF the patterned hatch bleeds through the solid hatch. The following pictures show how it looks in Inventor.
Why I cannot create a extrude feature for the sketch3.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm a new 2009 Inventor user (use mostly Solidworks for other jobs) and how to make the model update after I modify a feature sketch (e.g. I only add one more circle/hole to a sketch used for a somple extrusion, but the extra hole doesn't appear on the model). Tried all update-related commands but no luck so far. If I delete the feature and recreate it again everything works fine, but I stuff up all other features and mates that use the reference geometry...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a simple ipt file (attached)
It is a simple rectangular plate with 13 holes through on a pitch circle.
I have used a "circle" to construct the "Pitch Circle" and a "line" to construct the top dead centre of the circle.
I have then added a circle to use as a hole feature and used the circular pattern to make the holes equi-spaced around the circle.
This circle is then extruded "Through All".
My question is, How can I eliminate the construction "Circles" and "Lines" from the following code, only allowing sketch entites that are directly associated to an extruded feature to be accepted?

I just want to notice the Autodesk guys that when editing a hole feature in an assembly, then the sketch is hidden so that is not possible to pick more centerpoints. I noticed this when working with a sheet metal part, I don't know if its the same with a regular part.
Inventor 2012 SP1 / 64 bit
I need to disable the "Set sketch scale by the first dimension" feature.
The feature is nice under normal circumstances, but in my case i need to insert a dxf sketch and then draw around it in inventor. When i start to dimensioning the sketch then it scales the inserted part.
That aint so good.
is there a way to use vb to add closed sketch loops to an existing feature?
I am trying to create a parametric template for a fan guard assembly, complete with drawings.
I am using an arrangement of circles defined using some linear sketch patterns as the cross-section of a revolved feature. Using ilogic/vb, I want to automate the number and spacing of items in the linear pattern, and then update the loops selected for the revolved feature.
I have found code on this forum (courtesy of Curtis Waguespack) that I can use to select all closed loops and create a feature. I can apply this code to create a NEW revolved feature, but I haven't been able to figure out how to use it to UPDATE an existing feature.
I need the feature to UPDATE rather than create new to maintain links in my assemblies and drawings.
I am trying to delete fill from a sketch I have done on a drawing. (See attached). Unfortunately I cannot find any way to delete without deleting the whole sketch. I tried as Inventor said to go into Annotate Ribbon and change Layer & Style but both these dropdowns show blank when I try that. I also tried going into Fill/Hatch again hoping the new one would overwrite the old one but no success.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have two, seemingly identical, installations of AutoCAD LT 2012 on two machines in our office. Both machines have the MEASUREMENT variable set to 1.
The acadltiso.pat file of both machines has been customized with the addition of two hatch patterns and both of these work just fine.
In addition, the support folders of both installation also have identical sets of custom hatch patterns. On one of these machines thumbnails for these are visible and all works entirely as expected. However, on the other machine, none of these custom hatch patterns appear at all. In fact I cannot even see the custom hatch pattern tab!
I would like to import some new hatch patterns, that I have downloaded, into AutoCAD 2008. Where those hatch patterns need to go?

View 1 Replies View RelatedOur engineering department users are facing this problem that the hatch patterns are not visible. Everytime they have to use the FILL command when they open any drawing. They are facing this problem with some dwgs, when anybody else opens the same drawing this happens again. After that they are unable to see the hatch patterns in any drawing. After using FILL it becomes visible but restrting the AutoCAD reverts the setting back so they unable to see the hatch pattern again. After opening that dwg in all files they are unable to hatch.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been using AutoCAD Civil 3D lately but went to use my AutoCAD 2011 I noticed I have no hatch patterns. I thought that these patterns were located in the support folder so I got my DVD that has the program on it out and was going to reload AutoCAD to fix the problem. It would not reload it so I copied the support folder to my computer in the AutoCAD file and still nothing. What can I do to get my hatch patterns back?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am trying to load hatch files from StoneCAD. In the past I have been able to take hatch patterns from various sources and locate them in a file within AutoCAD LT, then use them without issue.
I have never touched a .pat file or written anything in notepad or word, just simply copied the .dxf files to a file on my computer and was able to use them through AutoCAD LT 2009. Recently I had to reload the software and I can't figure out where I would go to put these hatch files.
How do you install new hatch patterns in LT2006. Where are the pat files?
